Ram 1500 window tint
Crew Cab and Quad Cab rear doors are different shapes, the back glass often slides, and the big sunroof lets in the most heat under the Maui sun. We cut the Ram for all of it.

Short answer
Offshore tints the Ram 1500 on Maui with non-metallic ProLayers film, cut for Crew Cab, Quad Cab or the 1500 Classic and around the rear sliding glass if the truck has one. Front doors stay at 35% VLT or lighter, measured through film and glass as Hawaii requires; the rear doors and back glass can be any shade because the truck has mirrors on both sides. A four-door Ram with back glass takes about two to three and a half hours, and the panoramic sunroof is an add-on.
Key takeaways
- Crew Cab and Quad Cab rear door glass are different shapes, so the patterns are cut per cab.
- The rear sliding window is tinted with the film cut around the slider track so it still opens.
- Front doors are installed at 35% VLT or lighter; rear doors and back glass can be any shade because the truck has mirrors on both sides.
- ProLayers film has no metal layer, so Uconnect, GPS, blind-spot monitoring and the cameras work as before.
- TRX, Rebel, 1500 Classic and 2500 and 3500 HD trucks get the same film and process.

How it works
- 01Tell us the cab and trim
Crew Cab, Quad Cab or Regular Cab, current truck or Classic, and whether it has the slider and the panoramic roof.
- 02Glass and sensor check
We note the camera behind the mirror, the slider track and any old film before cutting.
- 03Prep
Ammonia-free clean on every window. Old film and adhesive come off if present.
- 04Cut and install
Film is computer-cut for the Ram's cab, applied wet, squeegeed flat and heat-shrunk to the back glass.
- 05Inspect and cure
Every window and the slider edges are checked before pickup. Keep the windows and slider closed for three to five days.
What's specific to this vehicle
- Cab
- Crew Cab has four full doors with large rear door glass; Quad Cab has shorter rear doors with a different glass shape. The 1500 Classic uses the previous body and its own patterns, and a Regular Cab is the smallest truck job in our estimator.
- Glass
- Many Rams have a sliding center section in the back glass. All pieces are tinted and the center is cut to clear the slider track, so it still opens and the film edges do not catch.
- Roof
- Laramie and Limited trucks often carry the large panoramic sunroof. Filming it is an add-on and cuts the heat that comes straight down on the front seats.
- ADAS
- Adaptive cruise and lane keeping read through a camera behind the windshield at the mirror, and blind-spot radar sits in the rear bumper. The film is non-metallic, so the cameras, Uconnect, GPS and phone signals are unaffected.
- Tint levels
- Front doors at 35% VLT or lighter, measured through film and glass as Hawaii requires, with a 6% tolerance when the tint is metered at inspection. A TRX or Rebel can run very dark rear doors and back glass for privacy, which is legal because the truck has mirrors on both sides.

Cut by cab
A Ram 1500 comes to the tint bench in more than one shape. The Crew Cab has four full doors and big rear door glass. The Quad Cab has shorter rear doors, and the glass is a different outline. The 1500 Classic carries the previous body and its own patterns, and a Regular Cab is two doors and the back glass. Our window tint estimator prices from the hours for the layout, so tell us the cab when you ask for a quote.
The big rear glass and the slider
Crew Cab rear doors are some of the largest side glass on any truck, and that glass is what heats the back seat. Ceramic film on the rear doors and the back glass is where most of the cab temperature change comes from. Many Rams have a sliding center section in the back glass; we tint every piece and cut the center to clear the slider track, so it opens freely and the edges stay down.
The panoramic sunroof
Laramie and Limited trucks often have the large panoramic sunroof, which puts a sheet of glass over the front seats. Filming it is an add-on. A lighter ceramic film is the usual choice there, which cuts the heat without darkening the view, and on the V16 tier the difference is obvious by noon.
Electronics stay as they were
Adaptive cruise and lane keeping read through a camera behind the windshield, and blind-spot radar sits in the rear bumper. ProLayers film is non-metallic, so Uconnect, GPS, the cameras and your phone signal are unaffected. Windshield film on a ceramic tier is cut around the camera window.
TRX, Rebel and HD trucks
A TRX or Rebel with very dark rear doors and back glass keeps gear in the cab out of sight. Hawaii allows any shade behind the driver on a truck with mirrors on both sides; front doors stay at 35% VLT or lighter, measured through the film and the glass, as the Hawaii window tint law page explains. Mirrored film is out, and on a 2013 or newer Ram the third brake light stays clear. Every Ram leaves with the compliance certificate Hawaii requires, which stays in the truck. 2500 and 3500 HD trucks are tinted the same way, whether it is a work truck or a personal rig.
Scheduling
A four-door Ram is about two to three and a half hours depending on the tier, with the sunroof adding time. Morning drop-off, afternoon pickup. Keep the windows and the slider closed for three to five days. If the truck sees gravel, Ram 1500 PPF on the hood and bumper is the usual pairing. Request a quote with the year, cab, trim and roof and we will send the figure with Hawaii GET.
Questions
How much does it cost to tint a Ram 1500 on Maui?
Tint is quoted from the labor hours for your cab and the film tier, plus Hawaii GET, with a deposit to book. A Crew Cab or Quad Cab with back glass is the standard four-door job. Request a quote with the cab for the exact number.
How long does it take to tint a Ram 1500?
About two to three and a half hours for a four-door Ram depending on the tier, plus time for the sunroof if you add it.
What is the darkest legal tint for a Ram 1500 in Hawaii?
Front doors must pass at least 35% of light through film and glass, with a 6% tolerance at inspection. The rear doors and back glass can be any shade because the truck has mirrors on both sides. The windshield takes a top strip down to the AS-1 line, or 4 inches from the top where there is no AS-1 mark, or a clear film that keeps the AS-1 area at 70%. Hawaii has no medical exemption for darker fronts.
Will tint affect Uconnect, GPS or blind-spot monitoring?
No. The film has no metal in it, so signals, the cameras and the radar work as before.
Do you tint the rear sliding glass?
Yes. The center piece is cut to clear the slider track so it still opens freely.
Can you tint the panoramic sunroof?
Yes, as an add-on, usually with a lighter ceramic film that cuts heat without darkening the view.
Do you tint Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks?
Yes, work trucks and personal trucks alike. The cab glass is tinted the same way as a 1500.
